Okay, I need some help here... Long story short, I thought I had two male quakers that got along well... well I have 1 male and 1 female and I found this out because they had 5 eggs... woot woot.....
so all 5 eggs have hatched (their first cluch!) and only 2 remain alive now, I let her take care of the others because I know it is hard to take care of new, tiny, baby birds but with these last two I wanted to give it a shot...
Well, they are TINY and I am using an eye dropper to try and get them to eat and it isnt working out so well. I am having to use the edge of the dropper and gently forcing them to open their mouth so I can get the formula in them. AKA they are not activelly eating and I am at a loss at what to do. I really dont have high hopes that they are going to live but I really want to try everything I can to try and save them.
Anyone have any tips? Anything would be appreciated. I need all the help I can get.
